Scientists Find Hidden Critical Point in Water That Explains Strange Behavior
Researchers at Stockholm University have identified a long-theorized critical point in supercooled water at about minus 63 degrees Celsius and 1,000 atmospheres, using advanced X-ray laser experiments. The discovery, published in Science, helps explain why water behaves differently from other liquids, including why ice floats and why water expands as it cools. Scientists say the […]
